Halloween Tablescape - sparkles but creepy

I am so happy to be able to create a tablescape for Halloween. We have been so busy with packing and moving everything into storage, I was afraid I wouldn't have time to get the tablescape ready. 

My Halloween tub was moved to my daughter's house so I could design a tablescape at her house. So here I am at the very last minute creating this post.

 Halloween is just about my favorite holiday; it's so fun and yet a little spooky. This year I am using a little sparkle plus some creepiness. 

Here's a little of the creepy with a little mouse climbing on a white pumpkin.


Skulls and bones on the table also add to the creepiness.


Black crows always come around looking for a little food.



The sparkle for the table comes with three shiny mercury balls on candlesticks. 



Now you have the idea of sparkles and creepy.







I have never used the mercury glass at Halloween but I am liking the sparkle.


The table is set with white Fiesta dinner plates plus a salad plate with a gray and black design.


Black stemmed goblets were added to stay with the theme.


You see who is sitting next to the coffee pot and not too far from the table. 


I tried to keep those crows caged but they managed to escape.


I have three witch friends who have arrived for the party. I just love Trixie, Dixie, and Peach. They are just about the cutest witches I know. I don't care if they are plastic, I love them anyway. 


Trixie, Dixie and Peach are ready to fly out on their bloom sticks so maybe I'll get to see them when I go out for . . .



Thanks for stopping by and watch out for the little ones while you are out - Judy.

Christmas Home Tour - Part 1

I have shared many posts from my daughter and SIL's house in Kansas City and since I am at their house recuperating from a complete knee replacement, I'm featuring their house for a Christmas Home Tour.

 This beautiful silver ball at the entry came from Nell Hill's in Kansas City.

The living room furniture gets rearranged for the holidays to make room for her 9 foot tree. Her white couch from Nell Hill's gets moved from in front of the white shutters to the right side of the room.

The pillow on the couch is from Pottery Barn. I love the berry wreath.

On the baby grand piano sits a couple of Byer's Choice Carolers. 


The sideboard on the right side of the room holds another display of Byer's Choice Carolers. 


"Ernie" their Elf on the Shelf is making an appearance on a silver glittered reindeer. 

 Back at the entry you can look to the right and see the dining room.

The chartreuse and silver theme is carried to the dining room.


The table is decorated with:  

 several new Mercury Glass Balls on candlesticks

 silver glittered deer, 

 chartreuse ornaments, 

 and two small chartreuse trees,



The four Mercury Glass balls are also from Nell Hills. 

Her china buffet is filled with her Lenox China and Lenox Christmas china. 

Let's take a peek into their bedroom where they have a 7 foot tree. We try to use 100 feet of lighting per tree. Their bedding is mostly from Restoration Hardware.

The dresser holds a hammered metal lamp with a few more carolers and the large white jar. I love the reflection in the mirror.


For the last couple of shots of the main floor, you can see the hearth room.


The plates are by Peggy Karr Glass, the front one is four stockings and the other three are plates of the Kansas City Plaza at Christmas. 




Thanks for stopping in for a Christmas Home Tour - Part 1. I'm working on Part 2 where I will feature the second floor of their home - Judy.

Mercury Glass Bottles

Looks like the mirrored chest is now one of my favorite places to decorate when I am at my daughter's house. Sadly, I put away the nativity set that was sitting on it and now the chest has a new look. The mercury glass bottles are a gift I gave her for Christmas and I think their reflections in the mirrored glass is striking. You can see the etched pattern in both bottles.














Thanks for stopping by to see the my Mercury Glass Bottles - Judy.
